Brian Gordon saves Mill Hill from hordes of sex crazed perverts !!!!

Barnet's very own caped crusader Brian Gordon has won a famous victory for the the right thinking people. He was very worried that posters promoting pills to cure erectile dysfunction would transform the citizens of the Borough into sex made perverts. He said :-

"There should be an understanding that certain things are indecent. This poster, talking about longer lasting sex in such a prominent way, vulgarises and cheapens something that should be seen as sacred. There is no question that such a poster can pervert the minds of many right-thinking people, including particular children, who are very impressionable." 
The Hendon Times reports that he's won the battle and we can all sleep soundly (not much chance of any other action now) in our beds at night. I agree with Councillor Gordon that these posters are not suitable for public sites, where children may see them. Whilst I thoroughly agree with Councillor Gordon about the undesirability of these posters being seen by children, he certainly seems to have widened the issue considerably.

I'm rather interested by his comments that the poster cheapens something which should be seen as sacred. I am wondering if this announcement signals a shift in policys of Barnet Council towards a more puritanical stance on sex and personal relations. I wonder if Mike Freer and Brian Coleman will be reprising the Tories attacks on the gay community with Section 28 like legislation in the run up to the next election? This policy was very popular in Tory circles during the reign of Margaret Thatcher, who is a hero to both Brian Coleman and Mike Freer. These policies were at their height presumably about the time Freer and Coleman first joined the Tories, so one has to suspect that they agreed with them in some way.

Will Barnet Council be bringing in policies which favour married couples over those living in sin, to protect the sanctity of the sexual act? I wonder if Brian Gordon could possibly give us a few examples of "right thinking people" who've been perverted by posters such as this, so we can judge for ourselves how damaging these posters are?

Councillor Brian Gordon is assistant cabinet member for policy and performance. I wonder what direction policy will be going in future on the subject of the "sanctity of sexual relations". It's clear from his protest that he's less concerned with performance than policy in such issues.

I'd suggest that Councillor Gordon lays down a few proposals at the next Council meeting. It seems that he could liven the session up no end.

Brian Gordon has a letter in this week’s Barnet Times criticising vulgar and unsavoury language used by opposition councillors. I wonder what he makes of his own leader’s “one handed bloggers” remark?
